The End

The thought of the end is daunting,
Greed, anger, ego, selfishness,
Their avidity of wealth,
To any limit of aggressiveness,
Famine slowly creeping around the world,
The destruction of nature taking its place,
Riots slicing through serenity,
The world would reach its limit,
After tolerating our negligence for far too long,
Then all will break into chaos,
With the end so blindingly near,
Just a few more steps and there we will be,
At the very end as we know it,
From only our witless mistakes,
This is the end.
